India, March 24 -- The Government of India issued the following news release:

Introduction

India's defence production has grown at an extraordinary pace since the launch of the "Make in India" initiative, reaching a record rs 1.27 lakh crore in FY 2023-24. Once dependent on foreign suppliers, the country now stands as a rising force in indigenous manufacturing, shaping its military strength through homegrown capabilities. This shift reflects a strong commitment to self-reliance, ensuring that India not only meets its security needs but also builds a robust defence industry that contributes to economic growth.
